sgtpepper64 Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Since there was so much interesting discussion on the songs we talked about in the Tweedy in the Times article, I thought it'd be fun to continue it. Maybe someone could suggest a song and we could all give our take on it? Any one else interested? If so, suggest a song and leave your comments! If not, fuck me.

tongue-tied Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 i always wondered which lines of "Wishful Thinking" Glenn wrote Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DAngerer09 Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Glenn wrote the part about "chamber of chains" and "pressure devices." When Jeff asked them all to turn in lyrics, I think Glenn handed him his notebook full of his percussion ideas. That was from the Kot book, maybe? Or the Wilco book? ...not sure.

bjorn_skurj Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Here is a tuff one! Side With The Seeds what is it about? What dose it mean to side with the seeds instead of the leaves?Leaves fall and die. Seeds grow and live. What side would you rather be on? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zebra Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 But don't seeds eventually turn into leaves? It could also mean being young at heart. I think. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

froggie Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 smiling wont cure loneliness, either. its not as if a flock of people will rock up if you smile Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Panther Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Handshake drugs are the way a drug dealer hands you drugs, with a handshake. This implies the drugs are illegal.Aswell while smilling dosent cure loneliness it dose help "fight" it as your brains chemicals change when you smile even if you force it. I think the line Jesus dont cry is using the name Jesus the was western culture is known to i.e Jesus, wuts wrong with you or Jesus! are you nuts!I could be worng Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mountain bed Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 One of the most perplexing lines Jeff's ever written has to be "crawling is screw faster lash". I would doubt that there's any deep meaning there - he must have just liked the way the words sounded together. Any ideas? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bobbob1313 Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 "Jesus, don't cry." Not "Jesus don't cry." He's using it as an exclamation. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cooperissup3r Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 You're right, I think, but I kind of think it might be a reply to the shortest verse in the Bible. i'm pretty sure it's more of a "Jesus..don't cry" to a lady he is interested in, who he may have hurt.

alecrothman Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 WHAT ARE HANDSHAKE DRUGS For some reason, I always thinks of prescription drugs when I hear this; maybe getting them from a doctor downtown or something. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
